Murfreesboro is a city in Pike County, Arkansas, United States. The population was 1,764 at the 2000 census. The city is the county seat of Pike County. Crater of Diamonds State Park is located just to the south. The crater is an eroded lamproite pipe where diamonds were discovered in 1906. 100,000 were found by 1933, and visitors to the park may still take away whatever they can find.
The guard cells surround each stoma in a plant cell. They regulate  the opening and closing of stomata to facilitate gas exchange and  control transpiration in plants.
Detailed Description of the Experiment. Leaf stomata are the principal means of gas exchange in vascular plants. Stomata are small pores, typically on the undersides of leaves, that are opened or closed under the control of a pair of banana-shaped cells called guard cells (see figure above). When open, stomata allow CO2 to enter the leaf for synthesis of glucose, and also allow for water, H2O, and free oxygen, O2, to escape.
